Örebro has secured forward Max Véronneau from relegated Leksand with a one-year contract for the 2026/27 season. The 30-year-old Canadian arrives after several strong seasons in the SHL, including a standout 2021/22 campaign. The club views him as a player with high potential ready for a revival.
Max Véronneau has signed with Örebro after leaving Leksand following its relegation. The move reunites him with coach Martin Filander, who previously worked with the forward and believes in his abilities on the ice. Sport chief Henrik Löwdahl highlighted Véronneau's strong skating and goal-scoring instincts as key assets for the team next season. Véronneau expressed excitement about joining the club. He said he arrives motivated and ready to work hard while praising Örebro's ambitions and positive environment. The contract covers the full 2026/27 SHL campaign. Experts note Véronneau's past success, such as his 34 goals and Guldhjälmen award in 2021/22, but acknowledge recent challenges including injuries and lower point totals. They see strong upside if he connects with Örebro's playmakers like Kalle Kossila and Patrik Karlkvist.
